Seek to Change Road Plans.

Indianapolis, June 27. —Delegations from several sections of the state called at the offices of the state highway commission seeking changes In the tentative state highway system. ReV. E. C. Hllder, siwkesman for a delegation from Posey county, explained to L. H. Wright, director of the commission, that persons in that section of the state desired to have the state highway to Mount Vernon routed by way of New Harmony. The proposed highway in Posey county as originally planned was between Evansville and Mount Vernon. Mr. Wright agreed with the delegation that it would probably be better to route the highway by way of New Harmony. . This routing provides for the highway to emerge from the Dixie Bee line highway at King In Gibson county, west to Owensville' thence through Cynthiana and Poseyville to New Hormany, thence to Solitude, Farmersville to Mount Vernon. This plan would _call for the, elimination of the proposed state high-' way between Evansville and Mount Vernon. Robert A. Creigmlle and George Ashman of Osgood called upon the highway commission to obtain the routing of the state highway in that section through Osgood to Versailles. In the northeast section of the state the road between Albion and Brimfield is to be included in the tentative plans, and the road from Kendallville through Waterloo and Butler to the state line also will be Included, it was said at the offices of the commission.
